I went there last Tuesday and I had the best restaurant experience ever. My waitress was so nice and she described all the specials although I had it in my hand. She suggested the linguine with sea urchin it was so good and perfectly cooked. She also suggested a wine with a funny name that was delicious. The place is very warm it makes you feel you are in the countryside of Italy. I canÂ’t wait to go back.

I am Italian and I have to admit; the Italian restaurants I eat in are a very few. Aurora is one of them. It is incredible for me to find food as good as my own country. I have been going there for a while now and pretty much tasted every item on the menu, compliments to the chef. The menu changes seasonally, so I can keep coming back and not tire of the same old menu. This is the only place I go where the main course doesnÂ’t disappoint me. Everywhere you go the appetizers are good but the main dish is heavy and flavorless. The main courses at Aurora are perfectly portioned and leave room for my favorite course, dessert. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Absolutely one of my favourite restaurants in NY from now on. I had a wonderful experience. The staff and atmosphere are great and competent. If you love food this is the place to go, the halibut is so flavorful and the shrimp appetizer melt in your mouth. My frend had the home-made papardele and she said it was divine. Extended and affordable wine list. I will defenately go back

We tried to have dinner there tonight, but the service was so terrible, we had to leave. Actually, we were told (by the manager) that we had 15 more minutes to finish our meal before we even ordered our main course! We will never let any of our friends go here and hopefully none of you will either! There are many other restaurants in this city that are so much better in every way.

Beware the luscious haired shark

An otherwise pleasant meal was tainted by two small, related incidents. First the luscious haired manager upsold us hard on overpriced wine. Nothing unusual but not very classy. Perhaps not even notable until the charming Spanish couple sat next to us and while chatting asked the same guy for a recommendation. He recommended the 'delicious' truffle pasta. Didn't bother to mention that it was $120 - almost 10x the price of anything else. Needless to say this couple who'd popped out for a glass of wine and a small meal were pretty upset when the bill came. No apology. Told they should have looked at the menu. I can't tell you if its their business strategy to fleece tourists. But here's some news for them. Even folks from out of town can write a review.
